There hasn’t been a member of that family to do an honest days work since before Joe Kennedy started running whiskey across the border during Prohibition.
I’m sure cowards and murderers would not want to be associated with the likes of Ted Kennedy, but I understand your sentiment.
“I dub thee Sir Rhosis.”

hahaha!
Bullseye!
Teddy: “Your majesty, your majesty, your majesty.”
Queen: “I’m the one in the middle you drunk.”
I heard that he can’t be called “Sir Ted” because he’s not English,
but, “dick head” rhymes...
Slogan from an old Teddy campain ad (imagine that voice and that accent): A car in every garage. A chicken in every pot. A blond in every pond.
Hope everyone is girded for the month-long or so non-stop media torrent for this ‘great statesman’, as it’s coming soon.
Office of Trust = holding a commission in the United States military and commanding a portion of its military forces. There are of course other Offices of Trust in the United States government, but this definition will do for this situation.
In the case of the military, these are exactly the class of people the writers of the Constitution would fear might have their heads turned against the U.S. and its interests by the machinations of foreign powers.
In the case of Reagan, I do believe he may have been retired by then, but he was drawing a pension from the government. The concept of an Office of Profit is less obvious in that case. I would say an former President is barred from receiving foreign honors without the consent of Congress. If you disagree that is your right.
Actually, I don’t think he outright supported Hitler. I believe it was because he didn’t believe that America could win against Germany and that it would be a waste of time and lives trying to help Great Britain.
Nonetheless, Joe Kennedy was a scumbag just the same.
His father wasn’t so much thrown out as removed by FDR when the old man’s Nazi sympathies became too much for the Brits to tolerate.
And certainly Teddy has to get consent from Congress. But not because he is in Congress, but because a United States Senatorship is an Office of Profit and Trust. No matter how untrustworthy Teddy has acted while holding it.
The point is to keep the officeholder from being bribed by the machinations of foreign governments.
And I was up in arms about Brown being snubbed, and now this. Bunch of pantywaist TWITS
The knighthood has become rubbish. Why don’t they confer one on Fidel Castro as well?
Weren’t the Kennedy’s suporters of the IRA?
Courtesy of wikipedia.
Kennedy attempted to obtain an audience with Adolf Hitler.[9]. In September 1940, Kennedy sought a personal meeting with Hitler, again without State Department approval, “to bring about a better understanding between the United States and Germany.”[10]
Kennedy argued strongly against giving aid to Britain.
